Review of A Prayer Before Dawn (2018) by Jluis_001 — 24 Nov 2018

It's a harrowing, crude and visceral prison film. It's not an easy film to watch.

I think it's a good film but you need patience to watch it because the narrative rhythm is very, very slow. And it's also a bit underwhelming because it pretty much goes on and on with the harsh situations to extend the dramatic momentum and it becomes a little bit exhausting at one point but still it's a good option, especially for the great performance by Joe Cole, which is definitely the best role of his career so far and that's pretty much it.
